Martha is a student in the Beginning High evening class This year has been different from the others. I started getting into things I've never thought about. I started exercising to feel healthier, and actually I'm in love with that. I like to move my body specially because it helps me to get rid of stress from tired days. I move my body every day in different ways, three times a week I lift weights (no heavier than 8 pounds haha), one day I go out for a run or jump the rope, twice a week I practice yoga (it’s so relaxing) and the last day I just stretch my body. This is an example of an ordinary week because also depends in my mood, because sometimes I don't feel craving or with many energy to lift so instead do something relaxing but the point is to move my body and my mindset is now different, because I used to think that I needed to work out 2 hours to be healthy but that is not true, because it is enough to move your body 30 minutes. Another thing I started doing is reading. I'm so happy about that decision. This year I've been reading one book each month (I'm finishing my third book) and it is something that I really enjoyed, and I like to find time to read. I like to read 15-30 min every day. This means a lot to me because I was not a person who loves to read. On the contrary I hated reading, but I think it was just because I read educational books and I didn't know that lecture is not just that because there are a lot of types of books. My new hobby I've been getting into is to journal and so far I can say that is a wonderful thing. Just 10 minutes to write about how my day was or how I am feeling, it makes me feel chilling and get new and increase my energy. Yessenia is a student in the Advanced ESL evening class
